It felt like a brick in my hand compared to the LC9. I agree with K1500's assessment, too top heavy, didn't sit right. I didn't like the trigger either, I don't know if it was because it was new, but it felt very gritty and not smooth. I passed.

I agree that it suffers from being "in between." Too big and blocky for good pocket carry, not quite enough if you're going to go for belt carry. It seems that there's a fair amount of rivalry between it and the Kahr.

Seems like a decent gun for what it is, but I just don't know how many people look for something like that.

For me it's an economic issue: I can only afford to feed one gun, and that will be the one I carry. I don't pocket carry ..... If and when I have the extra scratch to feed range toys, I seriously doubt that a little DA auto will be on the ration card......

For me it comes down to one thing: The trigger. I can get over the fact that it sits a little high in the hand. I can get over the fact that it's a little thick. But I can't get over an automatic striker fired pistol that requires a full DAO style trigger reset. If I were in the market for a slim single stack 9mm compact, I'd go for the PPS.

This is the only other true "pocket" 9mm- other than the DB9- that I'm aware of.

That's just it. It isn't a true pocket 9mm. Not unless you have massive pockets. I looked at the Nano and Sig P290 for pocket duty; they're just not workable as an EDC type gun. Not without dressing around the gun, which is kinda what you are trying to avoid with pocket carry.

I get a kick out of the guys who wear BDUs or khaki shorts with cargo pockets, who drop their EDC in there and declare it a pocket pistol.

My idea of a pocket pistol is that it fits into the front pocket of a normal pair of Levi jeans without creating an obvious gun outline.

Lots of Glock fans say the 26 is a pocket pistol - it's not but whatever. Beretta says the Nano is a pocket pistol and it's not.

There is a significant difference between the Rohrbaugh R9 at 5.2" long and 3.7" high and the Nano which is 5.63" x 4.17".

I'm sure there will be Nano fans who, like Glock fans will do something like - put it in their winter coat pocket and sing it's praises as the ulitmate pocket gun, but it doesn't change the reality of it for the majority of other people.

For most people if they put a Nano in their front pocket, they're going to be very very uncomfortable when they sit down at the waffle hut, or sit down in their car, and the rest of the time they're going to need a shirt over hanging their pocket because it's going to be very obvious that they have a gun in it.

My LC9 is a pocket pistol. If it fits in the pockets of my jeans, khaki shorts or in my jacket, it's my pocket pistol. It does not matter what you think is a pocket pistol. Levis do not have the market on jeans and not everybody wears tight pants. Just imagine all of the people who carry using an IWB holster. Some of them wear a pant size up so they can carry comfortably. Are you going to tell them they are wrong too?

I had a Nano and a Ruger LC9 to compare, side by side. (I'm a big Beretta fan.)

The first thing I wasn't crazy about with the Nano is it has no slide lock. The magazine is apparently locked open when the last round is fired, but you can't remove a magazine and lock the slide back.

I also didn't like the fact its magazine held six rounds, but the LC9 has a 9-round mag.
